just dance and theorise later
Dubstep is popular with todays young generation, maybe not as popular as Hip Hop R&B.
I'd hazard a bet it's more popular than rock music with the young generation.
Anything good coming up around Leeds mboy?
You are a VERY lucky man, hope you know that!
I do, my friends remind me of this on a daily basis..
Now get in the living room and show her a good time, stop bitching on the internet!
Ha ha. she was kidding pal...the little lady has called it a night.
I'm disappointed that they left out Donk, Wigan Bounce, Scouse House, Psytrance, Trip Hop and Gabba Techno.
this set is amazing.never heard any of these tunes .
Muckytee - I live as far away from Leeds as possible.. but does [url= http://www.dontstayin.com/uk/leeds/2012/sep#Day20120903 ]this[/url] make any sense to you..?
wtf is donk & wigan bounce?! did they do clownstep?
Anything good coming up around Leeds mboy?
ARE YOU HAVIN' A LAUGH?!?!
SERIOUSLY?!?!
I live 150 miles from Leeds, but I'd give my High Teeth to be there!
Leeds is bigger and better now than Manchester was back in the day! Leeds is pretty much the UK's hot bed of underground music, and dance culture these days.
If you can't find a good night in Leeds, well... I had a couple of mates that went to uni in Leeds years ago, they saw top name DJ's every Thursday, Friday and Saturday! My ex GF went to Leeds uni, she wasn't so much into the music, but she told me that if she had been like some of her friends were, there was top House or D&B nights on pretty much all over town, most nights of the week!
Methinks you're a bit of a lazy individual...
did they do clownstep?
EDIT: .......
Thanks Yunki 🙂
Lazy - yes 😳
Now then, I must get myself out there. 😛
YES!
this would mix very nicely into jimi polo's - better days
Morillo is up!
Oh god... I shoulda been in bed hours ago, but this guy is one of my idols!
😳
let there be house
and there was house
King Tubby
Hmm, I really feel like watching this again

Fantastic film 🙂
3 o clock in the mornin', and on and on and on 8)
EDIT: This is a proper retro-ish set from Morillo! Well, 10 years old or so most of it... Turn of the century Subliminal stuff, proper quality tunes!
Hmm, I really feel like watching this again
Was only telling someone else about that a couple of hours ago, after he started talking about Joy Division... Superb film, the fact it's all true (well slightly elaborated, but based on a true story) makes it even better!
Also helps that its narrated by Steve Coogan - I'm a big fan.
After watching it way back when it also made me go & buy this
It was so good late 80's and then there was Cream/Ministry etc
They both opened early 90's.
I didn't see the programme, but just had a listen to Northern Exposure for the first time in years (cheers spacemonkey.)I have been trying to wriggle out of a big clubbing night tomorrow, but as I listen the balance is tipping the other way, so many memories!
Dear god i'm tired right now!!! 😕
Couldn't leave whilst Morillo was on. Stayed up for half of A-trak's set too. Then when I went to bed at 3:30 I was buzzing, so couldn't sleep til about 5!!!
I've had just over 3 hours sleep and am at work til 6 now... 🙁
hah.. see that tiredness.. that's how I've felt every day for the last six months..
I called it a night about 2.30am, my youngest then got me up at 3am for a feed, then at 4 and 5 for reasons that only he knows.. then my oldest got me up to start my day at 7..
Tonight we have a rare night of reprieve.. the second night in six months.. the grandparents are taking over and I get to rest..
So we're running an all night tea and cake stall at a small local festi..
like that'll re-charge the batteries.. 😯

i gave up in a big sulk after a while because the influence of dub wasn't being give due deference. not a single bar of fascinating rhythm or dub be good to me.
the final straw was the assertion that chill out music was born in the cafe del mar in 1994 when the reality was that ambient dub had been a part of the rave scene virtually from day one
Strange concept to have It in a empty studio , that said I thought Soul II Soul and Erik Morillo were the stand outs. Grandmaster Flashes set got really good towards the end . Annie Mac strangely looked like Roberts Smith and the Fat guy between DJ's annoyed me.
Still better than 99% of the stuff thats normally on TV.
Gutted to have missed this (being in Oz). Will try to dig up the Morillo set as it sounds ace. About there being no 'underground' these days: I can kind of see that being the case. Back in the early 90s, searching out Spiral Tribe parties, driving to Torpedo Town etc, there was that raw energy and excitement that this was something new (yet ages old). I feel the same way about the very early 90s as my dad feels about the Kinks, the Shadows, the Stones in the early 60s. Those hazy summer nights will always have a magic for me.
Today, I'm sure there are Facebook fan pages for DJs and parties. Hell, even Lost has a website...
i fell asleep through grandmasters set, it was pish to be honest. maybe cause i wasnt actually having a house party at the time may have helped.
Watched the House Party which was pretty cool and as I said earlier Soul II Soul pissed on the opposition with notable to Morillo and Grandmaster Flash.
Only just watched the Idris programme. It was good but all over the ****in place , That said had It been in chronological order I'd have switched off around 95. I took my last Ecky around 2000 after moving to Embra from London and had great nights in Turnmills , The End , Gardening Party , Leisure lounge and back to 89 nights in the Astoria.
I think there were only a handfull of decent releases after 95. Certainly getting Spaced around 2000 felt lame compared to the Bishops , Ballys , Reza's and dodgy Embra raves in 1991.
Still greatest nights of my life .
Thanks Jamie, much appreciated! 😀
dub wasn't being give due deference
on a related note, I spent much of last evening sat in a very magical garden, supping very good cask ale and listening to Andy Diagram improvise live on a small stage under an oak tree.. followed by stomping away into the wee small hours to a veritable smorgasboard of banging dance music..
[/smug]
No one who uses the term 'veritable smorgasboard', is entitled to be smug.
In my defence I'm still pretty drunk and deluded.. In fact it's entirely possible that before the day is out I will accuse someone of tomfoolery or some other rum turn of phrase..
About there being no 'underground' these days
There's still an underground, in recent years the Rokeby parties in Leeds were the stuff of legends.
@Mods
Really? I can't even explain why I can't follow through on my offer?
I got in quick Jamie and grabbed the 4 you'd kindly done. Thanks muchly for that, I wanted to do it but couldnt bring myself to put the effort in!
I only got the first 2. 🙁
Just saw this thread.
Junior Boys' Own nights, Flying nights, Rimini '92 and Remix, Bournemouth.
Still greatest nights of my life .
Plus One.
